Resonant Cancellation Effect in Ramsey-type Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Experiments

Abstract

We investigate the response of a Ramsey-type experiment on an additional oscillating magnetic field. This superimposed field is oriented in the same direction as the static main magnetic field and causes a modulation of the original Larmor spin precession frequency. The observable magnitude of this modulation reduces at higher frequencies of the oscillating field. It disappears completely if the interaction time of the particles matches the oscillation period, which we call resonant cancellation. We present an analytical approach that describes the effect and compare it to a measurement using a monochromatic cold neutron beam.
